This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $599,707 supports research towards trustworthy and performant decentralized resource markets in the blockchain era under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program. The University of Connecticut will develop novel frameworks to promote scalability and efficiency of blockchain-based resource markets, including a secure architecture for sidechains with dependency relationships to the main blockchain that enable exchanging arbitrary data. Researchers will also introduce a provable security paradigm for formalizing and analyzing the security of resource markets and sidechains. This foundational work seeks to bridge the gap between the promise of decentralized markets and their practical viability. Outcomes include schemes for secure and efficient utilization of blockchains in real-world applications, as well as foundational understanding of new sidechain dependency models and use cases previously unexplored. Research findings will also promote provable security for large-scale distributed systems.
